For a richer flavor, use brown butter in the cake batter. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal mixing. To prevent sticking, line the bottom of the cake pans with parchment paper rounds. If the frosting is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until desired consistency is reached. This cake can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
